    I cooked mine by the recipe without soaking my peas & also added a 14.5 oz. can of chicken broth & my peas were soft after one hour. Quick, easy, and tasty!

    I have said this time and time again, You cannot go wrong with Paula. This recipe is no exception. This was the first time I have ever made black-eyed peas and it was great. The only variations I made was adding the bacon to the peas during the last 15 minutes of cooking, added pickled jalapenos, and I picked up diced tomatoes with basil and oregano. Also, many reviews said that it took a really long time to cook the peas. It took about an 1 hr 30 mins to cook and the peas were soft. Just remember to cook them on medium heat. I did soak the peas for 4 hours before cooking. Lastly, you may need to add a little hot water during the last 30 minutes. Great recipe!!

    Great recipe. I used oil to sauté the onions, since I used turkey bacon for the crumbles. And I used separate cans of diced tomatoes and diced chiles. And extra chili powder. I didn't soak the beans and they were tender after simmering for an hour. But keep an eye on the water. You'll need to add hot water periodically. We'll be making these again next year!

    Great recipe .. I tripled using a tin each of Rotel tomato's & chile's hot & mild. Added a little extra spice. And added a little extra pre-cooked bacon to pot while simmering.

    Thanks

    Great recipe! One thing that I might suggest in reading the reviews regarding adding water and cooking time is to make sure that when you're adding water that the water is hot or boiling. The addition of cold or room tempreture water cools the liquid of your beans and causes the existing water to need additonal time to come back up to proper temp. This can slow the cooking process down significantly each time cool/room temp water is added.

    I agree with n.beck_11117837 there was no reason to soak overnight, I soaked them for about an hour. Also I had to extend the time a little and actually added a little more water closer to the end. I also added a bay leaf; they turned out superb; first time cooking them but not eating them.
